WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI said on Thursday it may have to scrap a new $170 million computer program designed to allow agents to share information instantly and fix a main problem identified after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The software is already outdated and inadequate, with the bureau able to use only about one-tenth of the program, an FBI official said on condition of anonymity.

Can't seem to open the link (The page cannot be displayed error).
Was the software designed by Microsoft :rolleyes: ?
After the Win XP-US Army fiasco, I'd be surprised if they went back to Microsoft.
